Pete the Cat goes
walking down the street wearing his brand-new white shoes. Along the
way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as he
steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes! But
no matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin' and groovin' and
singing his song . . . because it's all good.

In the sequel, Pete the Cat is now one fleet-footed feline in his shiny school shoes.
I used these two books with my kindergarten and special needs classes a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded the songs and played them while I showed the pictures to the students. They loved it. The tunes are quite catchy and I found myself singing along, even some of the kids joined in on the chorus. You can find the music here. Not only do these books teach about colors and finding places that one needs to go to, but it also shows that one does not need to panic when one faces new places and other such changes. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a fun interactive read-a-loud.

Hello there, Heidi! Looks like Pete the Cat there has been getting quite a bit of love. Have you seen Kelly's video clip of her daughter reading "I love my White Shoes" at the Lemme Library? I had that ringing in my ear the whole day (in a very good way) hahaha.
